Cavaliers and Knicks excel in the NBA, with Tatum`s clutch performance leading the Celtics to victory.

Cleveland Cavaliers lead the Eastern Conference with a remarkable 39-9 record, riding a three-game winning streak. The Boston Celtics follow closely at 33-15, while the New York Knicks are on fire with a five-game winning streak, boasting a total of 408 points in their last three games—an all-time franchise record. Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns have made history as the first Knicks to be named All-Star starters in the same season since the legendary duo of Walt Frazier and Earl Monroe in the 1974-75 season.

In the Western Conference, the Oklahoma City Thunder hold the top spot with a 37-9 record, trailed by the Houston Rockets at 32-15 and the Memphis Grizzlies at 32-16. The Los Angeles Lakers, just one game behind the Denver Nuggets for fourth place, are gearing up for a crucial matchup against the Knicks at Madison Square Garden. However, they will be without All-Star center Anthony Davis due to an abdomen injury, placing the spotlight on LeBron James, who has a storied history at MSG.

Recent thrilling games have showcased standout performances, including Jayson Tatum`s game-winning fadeaway jumper with just 0.2 seconds left, leading the Boston Celtics to a narrow 118-116 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans. Tatum and Jaylen Brown combined for an impressive 55 points in that contest. Nikola Jokić of the Denver Nuggets also delivered a clutch performance, scoring 8 points in the final minute to secure a 137-134 win against the Philadelphia 76ers, finishing just one rebound shy of a triple-double with 28 points, 9 rebounds, and 13 assists.

James Harden of the Los Angeles Clippers made headlines by surpassing LeBron James as the second-fastest player to reach 26,000 points, 8,000 assists, and 6,000 rebounds in his career. The Phoenix Suns showcased their dominance with a 130-105 victory over the Golden State Warriors, fueled by a combined 71 points from Devin Booker, Bradley Beal, and Kevin Durant. Meanwhile, the Chicago Bulls halted the Toronto Raptors` five-game winning streak with a solid 122-106 win, led by Coby White`s 25 points and Nikola Vučević`s double-double.
